Or not even that, it was an English guy I was arguing with a few nights ago about whether Polish is a distinct ethnicity or if Poles are just kind of... he didn't use the word "mutt" but that's what he meant.

ReindeerF posted:Europeans are *hilariously* ethnically nationalist and this is Scandinavia, so you can pretty much bet the answer involves the words EEMEEGRUNTS and BEENEFEETS. Also a few things here and there about MOOZLUMS. ya the nation-state is disintegrating as an ideological construct, and nobody wants to admit it, so we have all these massive panicked reactions trying to reaffirm it as a unifying project. of course, it's completely in vain and only ends up in racism and as a useful idiot to international capital, but that's where right-wing populism has its ideological nourishment in europe the main problem imo is that we have no palatable alternatives to the nation state. what we have got is out-of-touch neoliberalism incarnated in the EU, which is... not optimal. nobody really likes the EU. it seems as though some kind of internationalist socialism should be able to profit on this crisis, but it still hasn't managed for a host of other reasons

In the distant future there is ONLY WAR What is Only War? Only War is a tabletop rpg produced by Fantasy Flight games and set in the Warhammer 40K universe. Players take control of the best forces humanity has to offer, which in all honesty, aren't that good compared to what everyone else is bringing. Your squad will be set against the xeno, the heretic, and the mutant in a most likely vain attempt to preserve a massive fascist dystopia. Think Vietnam War USA but in space and with lasers and you are pretty much there. There will be tanks, full communism, and lots of dying. How do I play? Due to the wide variety of time zones and schedules DaD chatters occupy, I plan on running the game as play-by-post over in the trad games game room subforum. This means that you don't have to worry about sitting down at a specific time, with the tradeoff of a slower moving game. You will need a copy of the rulebook and a character. If you need the rule book, send me a PM or get ahold of me on steam and I will help you obtain a completely legal copy. When do we start? I've already had several people express interest in playing, but am seeking at least 2 more to round it out. If I can secure that, I hope to get a thread going this Saturday. Wait, I still have questions! Post em up and I'll try and answer.

joeburz posted:is this real because lol he is real, and strong, and my friend basically haugesund is a port town which has been wholly eclipsed by the competition and socio-economic developments. it's not poor in an absolute sense because hardly anywhere in norway is really poor, but it's a town without a niche, so there's a shadow of that whole post-industrial wasteland thing hanging over it.

keep in mind also that most norwegian towns are very small. even oslo is shy of half a million people, and bergen comes second at half that again. haugesund has, like, 40,000 people living there iirc i used to joke about battlestar galactica that it was haugesund in space, which made a lot of the stuff happening very silly

Jagchosis posted:i'm kind of surprised her mother wound up there as a refugee then, we usually settle ours in cities we love putting refugees in tiny towns it's to prevent ghettoification ostensibly, and help assimilation. the logic is that in a smaller place you're forced to deal with people and people are forced to deal with you, making you a person instead of "one of those" people. if you go to the tiny towns in the northernmost parts of norway you'll see an absolutely disproportionate amount of somalis etc because they get residencies there and everyone else is leaving the place on account of it being a shithole

kustomkarkommando posted:I have learned this week that Americans still really get worked up about Treason. People only really react that way because dudes will claim to be the only "real Americans" while sporting confederate flags and spouting about the war of northern aggression. They get real butthurt when you call em traitors to the colors and they're dicks so thats what we do.
